Part Number:WL1837MOD
I am using the WL1837MOD (e14 wireless cape) and the Beaglebone Black.
WL18xx Driver Version: R8.7
WL18xx Firmware Versions: 8.9.0.0.76 and 8.2.0.0.240
wpa_supplicant Version: 2.6
hostapd Version: 2.6
Linux Kernel: 4.14.79
When I try to add a mesh interface via the mesh_start script, I get the following errors:
root@am335x-evm:/usr/share/wl18xx# ./mesh_start.sh
adding mesh0 interface
command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

I set CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH to 'y' in my kernel config file, rebuilt the kernel and SD card, and patched the SDK and DTB. However when I run the configure-device.sh script, I get the error:
root@am335x-evm:/usr/sbin/wlconf# ./configure-device.sh
